Kota Kita is a non-profit organization based in Solo, Indonesia working to bridge dialogues between governments and citizens by facilitating the involvement of all citizens — especially the marginalized and excluded. Because without these voices, we will never realize a city shaped and informed by empowered citizens — A City for All.

The organization has some focus on women. For instance, “Women on Wheels”, a multifaceted Pilot Project in the city of Surakarta was implemented between 2015-2018 to promote cycling as a way to empower women and girls to fully and equally participate in socio-economic attainment, while promoting the values of sustainable and liveable cities.

The Urban Catalysts provide consulting services on developing sustainable transport and urban planning policies, street design, station accessibility projects, transit oriented development, capacity building and implementation support.

The Walkability Institute (Instituto Caminhabilidade) is a non-profit organization led by women and founded in 2012 that, driven by the urgency of achieving gender equality and addressing the climate crisis, develops walkable cities with citizen participation.

It does this through two lines of action, promoting the culture of walking and humanizing cities,integrating five action areas: Education and information, research and consulting, networks and events, urban projects and advocacy and partnerships.

Safetipin is a social impact organisation working towards Building Responsive, Inclusive, Safe and Equitable Urban Systems for women. We collaborate with government and non-government stakeholders in using data- driven approach to improve infrastructure and services in cities.

This approach has generated robust datasets that have resulted in interventions in cities across India and other cities in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The She Rises framework addresses a range of city life dimensions from the women’s perspective.

The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) is a non-governmental non-profit organization that focuses on developing bus rapid transit (BRT) systems, promoting biking, walking, and non-motorized transport, and improving private bus operators margins.

Our goal is to bring the agile mindset to the cities we serve. We also work on mobilizing allies and creating a program to make public spaces safe for women.
